In the context of the global decline of democracy, The Authoritarian Divide analyzes the tactics that populist leaders in Turkey, Venezuela, and Ecuador have used to polarize their countries. Political polarization is traditionally viewed as the result of competing left/right ideologies. In The Authoritarian Divide, Orçun Selçuk argues that, regardless of ideology, polarization is driven by dominant populist leaders who deliberately divide constituents by cultivating a dichotomy of inclusion and exclusion. This practice, known as affective leader polarization, stymies compromise and undermines the democratic process. Drawing on multiple qualitative and quantitative methodologies for support, as well as content from propaganda media such as public speeches, Muhtar Meetings, Aló Presidente, and Enlace Ciudadano, Selçuk details and analyzes the tactics used by three well-known populist leaders to fuel affective leader polarization: Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey, Hugo Chávez in Venezuela, and Rafael Correa in Ecuador. Selçuk’s work provides a rubric for a better understanding of—and potential defense against—the rise in polarizing populism across the globe.

From 1906, the success of the company was due to the dedication of its founders, Robert Leigh Ibbs and John Tillett. After their deaths, the agency was run by the latter's wife, Emmie, who, dubbed the 'Duchess of Wigmore Street', bec...

Una breve reseña del ordenamiento jurídico relativo al Amazonas venezolano y se incluyen acontecimientos vinculados a los aspectos normativos marcados por el rol del Estado, en resonancia con las fuerzas vivas de la sociedad amazonense, en especial del movimiento indígena, que no han dejado de estar activos en la región. Se busca hacer un recorrido histórico, con mayor detenimiento en las últimas cuatro décadas, que ayude a entender lo que han sido las políticas hacia esa porción del territorio nacional, con repercusiones importantes en cuatro variables especiales que son, la conservación ambiental, las comunidades indígenas, la minería y el factor geopolítico. El propósito del informe es mostrar lo que se ha avanzado y lo que ocurre actualmente en materia jurídica vinculada al desarrollo sostenible, a manera de radiografía. “El futuro de la Amazonía ...depende principalmente de que abandonemos de inmediato el modelo actual que destruye el bosque, no trae bienestar y pone en peligro a este inmenso tesoro natural y a sus guardianes.” (Documento Final del Sínodo de los Obispos para la región Panamazónica 6 - 27 Octubre 2019).
